थी यूँ तो शाम-ए-हिज्र मगर पिछली रात को
वो दर्द उठा 'फ़िराक़' कि मैं मुस्कुरा दिया

मुद्दतें गुज़री, तिरी याद भी आई न हमें
और हम भूल गए हों तुझे, ऐसा भी नहीं

-फ़िराक़ गोरखपुरी (उर्फ़ रघुपति सहाय)

[Aabhas Maldahiyar 🇮🇳 @Aabhas24]

On this auspicious first day of Chhath Puja (Nahai Khae), I am delighted to announce my next book—a journey into the history, philosophy and civilisational story of one of Bharat’s most extraordinary festivals.

For me, Chhath is also childhood. I remember excitedly going to the ghats as one of my grandmothers—my father’s aunt—observed the fast. And, of course, waiting all year for thekua!

As I grew older, I began asking: where did this extraordinary tradition come from? Why do millions offer arghya to both the setting and rising Sun?

I searched for a book exploring Chhath beyond rituals—its history, philosophy, solar worship and its deep connection with Bharat and nature. I could not find the book I was looking for.

So I decided to write it.

Across the ancient world, great civilisations worshipped the Sun. Many ancient solar cults faded into history. Yet in Bharat, the relationship between humanity, nature and the Sun continues to live.

And Chhath is among its most beautiful expressions.

A journey that began with childhood memories—and perhaps thekua—is now becoming a book.

Chhath Puja ki hardik shubhkamnayein!

Small correction: This small, inconsequential project was spearheaded by Mr. Nitish Kumar.

Modi government, on the other hand, has done a stellar job in establishing AIIMS Darbhanga, OM Mitra Park, Industrial Corridors and Defence Corridor in the state.

Please report on those.

BIG NEWS 🚨 Modi Govt is constructing the world’s second-largest and Asia’s largest hospital, PMCH, in Patna.

Poetry is for those nights when you wake up at 2 AM.

Poetry is for those evenings when you have only yourself at 6 PM.

Poetry is for those souls who think they are lost. To show them that the path they are on is not solitary. That more lost souls have taken the same path.

@IndexBihar @ECRlyHJP @AshwiniVaishnaw Arey bhai... Saaf to dikh raha hai ki ek saal me jitna hona tha usse zyada hi hua hai.

Ab aap ye bhi bologe ki AIIMS Darbhanga me bhi koi progress nahi hua hai.

Gajab halat hai bhai!

@sanjeevsinghx People think I exaggerate when I mention the shanty that used to house the rebirth of the greatest academic institution.

And that the doc was responsible for it.

They would totally not believe it.

2. Manifest it into reality.
3. Add precisely 18g of protein.
4. Manufacture just 1 box.
5. Give it to a random person on twitter.
6. Do this everyday.
7. Refuse to elaborate.

🚨 बिहार का गुजरातीकरण चालू

@samrat4bjp बिहार में महापुरुषों की कमी है क्या जो गुजरात से इम्पोर्ट किया जा रहा है।

सम्राट अशोक, चन्द्रगुप्त से ले कर राजेंद्र प्रसाद, बाबू कुंवर सिंह, आदि कम पड़ गए क्या आपको जो कभी शिवाजी तो कभी बापू तो कभी पटेल की जरूरत पड़ने लगी??

If you do that, how will you ensure there's enough labour for the rest of the country.

Some states will be kept poor so that other states can accumulate wealth.

@pratyushkisor The other side couldn't win in dwapar yug.

But they have won in Kaliyug.

The time when gods are abused and mortals are deified and then we worship false gods.

Yes, and...

Everyone sees Arjun getting all the accolades.

No one seeing Arjun doing all the hardwork to be better every single day on every single talent.

And as they say, self pity is more luxurious than sweating it out. Day after day. Night after night.

[𝕊𝕧𝕚 @Polaapaan]

I often wondered why common men from every age and generation have a soft spot for Karna, and not that much for Arjun.
Then I realized something.
Karna's popularity actually stems from a universal human trait- self-projection. When they see Karna, they just see a man of immense talent who was denied greatness by fate and society; and they recognize their own frustration in him.
Most people believe they had great potential that was thwarted by external factors (and never by themselves). They love and root for Karna because he validates their own identity as a tragic, unfulfilled hero.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move.

In most of its posts on recent Ind vs NZ series, Rugby India has purposefully omitted the venue and the host state, Bihar.

And the theft from the God's coffers was our biggest civilisational shame.

[Abhishek @MSDianAbhiii]

We hindus don’t realise this is one of our greatest civilisational victories.

[तथाकथित मंदबुद्धिजीवी @BanerjeeSummit]

No one would question why redevelopment of Bihar stations including only repainting, but were the first ones to offer the one Bihar achievement on the lotus feet of their leaders.

Apparently the Look East policy overlooks the state of Bihar.
